About MeThis ladies green wool swimsuit has a textured design with rows of raised small squares.It has rope straps that cross over at the front and are threaded through four keepers on the exterior of the back.
There is also an inner drawstring threaded through the top edge of the back that can be pulled tight to keep the swimsuit in place if the rope straps are removed to get an even sun tan.
This bathing costume has short trunks under a modesty skirt.
It was made by Wolsey which was established in Leicester in 1755 as a knitted hosiery manufacturer.
